This thing is killer, I never had the old version, but things are fairly intuitive. I don’t have room for a drum kit, so this is my option. But it far exceeds any expectations. And for the price, so it should. But with Roland it’s a buy once cry once kinda deal. This will likely last me beyond my years. The Simmons stand works perfectly, for half the price. (Spent all my cash on this and pedals) Creating your own set is easy peasy. And just exploring the menus makes things come together pretty quick. And it’ll plug into a RC500. (Guitarist first) Got my pedals on order now. Call videos for letting even more!! Thanks
The pad switching thing was exactly what I was looking for ... It's unbelievable that this basic and handy function from the previous model doesn't exist anymore, even though everything else has been a huge upgrade. Does anyone know more about switching easily between pads?
@@DrumElectric No, I had the same problem as you were saying in the video, just being able to switch between pads when editing them without having to actually physically trigger the pads (04:53). But it still seems that there's no real solution for that without using the multi view thing, right?
I'm loving my SPDSX Pro, but i'm new to MIDI and having the worst time trying to use the SPDSX Pro with the Bandhelper app to load tempos and change kits. Do you have a crash course anywhere that might help me understand how to use MIDI on the SPDSX pro for beginners? Your videos are so easy to understand and helpful.
This is a great question, and something I'll definitely work on as I don't yet! What sort of thing would you like to see - A general overview on how to start with MIDI specifically using the SPD-SX PRO? Feel free to throw any ideas my way and I'll get on it!
@@DrumElectric beyond basic inputting, how does one know if the SPDSX PRO is receiving messages? How do you know what messages change what? For example, I’d like to send a kit change message from the BandHelper app to the SPDSX PRO, so when I select a song in the app it changes to the appropriate kit on the PRO, but I don’t know what number message the PRO reads as a kit change. I don’t even know if the PRO uses a 0-127 numbering or a 1-128. Things like that…
Hi Harry great vids and really informative, any chance you could do a session on using the effects on the Spd-sx pro when you get a chance. much appreciated.
I discovered your videos on the SPD-SX… it’s been my go-to guides when I got mine. So I’m gonna save this video till when I get the PRO even if it’s like 3 years down the line 😂
Hey Harry! Love your videos. Do you know if the audio line in on the unit can be routed to the effects? I would love to be able to process my monitor mix like this but not having any luck. Thanks for all that you do!
Harry, I copied a sample from one of the kits to a user kit and the sample is there but the effects did not copy over is that how it is and you have to add your reverb … to it or did I do something wrong?
Strange! This isn’t something I’ve encountered before and I have a feeling it’s because the effects don’t copy per single sample. I think you’d have to copy the whole kit over to include effects (but I could be wrong!)
Great video , Thank you. I have a question. If you hit the pads with your hands does it comes a sound? I want to use it as percussions playing with my hands. I believe it has a sensitivity adjustment that can make that possible.
Harry ...Help! sorry to bother you, I can't seem to get Roland to respond, I somehow managed to get a double trigger, somewhat distorted, it's not delay I can't seem to find out what I did wrong
@@DrumElectric the cable came out half way! and I already did a system initialize and now I can’t seem to get the triggers to the way I had them my threshold is T 0
threshold is at 0 and they are not as sensitive as I had them I know there is another setting so when I hit them soft it still triggers I just can’t remember what I did before
Can you assign mute groups between kits? I know mute groups work within the SAME patch. I have more than nine loops to run and currently need to hit all sounds off after switching to a new patch. Seems like Roland dropped the ball on that. (I also don't have the luxury of a consistent set list to link loops in any order.)
From my knowledge, not that I know of unfortunately! My first thought would be assigning it to a mute group, and that same mute group on a different patch would mute them all. But I can’t confirm! Have you got an SX-PRO to try it on?

You’re incredible

Thanks for the informative video. Is it possible to use a fs6 / 7 foot switch with a Roland SPD SX drums as a kick & hihat pedal?
Thanks so much! I believe it may work, but wouldn't be the same as using a dedicated kick pedal trigger

Is that the Kit Chain function? As the new PRO definitely has that!

This is incredibly helpful, thank you!! I'll get working on a video!
Can you do a bunch of rebound hits with a drop of the drum stick on a pad?
Yes!
an you connect a looper pedal and plug it into the expression input and live loop a sample that way?
That’s a great question, but not one I know the answer to sadly! Not something I’ve tried

This is incredible LOL!! I’ll be here to help!!
@@DrumElectric it took 11 months buut I have received the SPD-SX Pro as a Christmas present this morning so I'm back to this video 😅
@constantlydrums haha!! This is incredible. Happy Christmas for sure!!
Hey Harry! Love your videos. Do you know if the audio line in on the unit can be routed to the effects? I would love to be able to process my monitor mix like this but not having any luck. Thanks for all that you do!
This is a fantastic question! From my knowledge, I don’t think you can. What a great idea though!
@@DrumElectric Thank you!

If I copy the kit over to another pad then all the effects transfer over but not when I copy just one sample
Great video , Thank you.
I have a question.
If you hit the pads with your hands does it comes a sound?
I want to use it as percussions playing with my hands.
I believe it has a sensitivity adjustment that can make that possible.
It does work like this yes, but I would look at a hand percussion trigger specifically for the most reliability
Thank you very much
Harry ...Help! sorry to bother you, I can't seem to get Roland to respond, I somehow managed to get a double trigger, somewhat distorted, it's not delay I can't seem to find out what I did wrong
figured it out, apologize ....
Haha all good! What was the problem in the end?

found it Harry, Trig Type instead of BT-1 change it to BT-1 SENS oh ya!

@@DrumElectric It doesn't. Would make things a lot easier if they worked this in.
I agree! Or the ability to assign the ‘All Sounds Off’ button to another pad/trigger
